IN THE NAME OF GOD
Ghadire Khom event and introducing Imam Ali, as the leader of Mulsims by prophet Mohammad ( PBUH ) are perfectly known among Mulsims. In 10th Heggira calender, the prophet of Islam, upon return from his last trip to Mecca, next to a fountain, Ghadire Khom, stopped and ordered all caravans to assemble at the site. The Prophet then recited an aya, already descended upon his heart by Gabriel the angel: "you, the prophet, express what has been sent to you by your God. And if you refuse, your assignment has not been completed. Allah would keep you from their harm, and he will not guide non-believers." Afterwards, Prophet of Islam gave a long speech, citing famous Hadith: "Those who consider me as leader, will take this Ali as a leader. Therefore, love whoever loves him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile towards him". Then Gabriel brought another Aya to Prophet of Islam: "Today, I have completed religion for you, gave you my full blessing,and chose Islam for you."Indeed, the prophet of Islam had introduced his successor to lead the Islamic Ummah after him. And as the Holy Quran had remarked, Islam became complete and established. After the ceremonial occasion, close circles to the prophet of Islam came to felicitate Imam Ali's appointment to the leadership of the Muslim Ummah.1
